What is The Landless?

​The Landless will be a narrative podcast in serial form, spanning 10 episodes. You will get to follow the sound of my voice as I make this journey and hear what it took to cross the iron curtain. The podcast will be released in 2018, allowing for production time and processing of all material from the journey. Check out the preview to hear what that sounds like.

​That part of history doesn't get talked about much. The voices of all those single mothers, who sacrificed everything to give their children a better future, have gone unheard. Their sacrifice unacknowledged.

I want to change that. That's what this podcast intends to do. It begins with one woman's journey but brings many others into its fold. The news portrays refugees in such abstract terms that it's not surprising some of us can't relate, much less care about, their fates in distant lands. I want show that these are real people.

​I am Michal Wisniowski. An artist, storyteller, and educator. All of it thanks to my amazing mom who took on the staggering challenge of making that journey and braving refugee camps in three countries to find us a better life.

Making this podcast has been my dream for the past two years. In that time I've been learning how to use the tools and techniques of audio production. I still have a lot more to learn.

My visual art has drawn on personal narratives for many years and has been exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Root Division, Headlands Center for the Arts, Arc Gallery, and Aggregate Space among others.
